Double Yolkers

I got rained out remodeling a kids wooden playhouse into a new chicken summer home :) Thought it would be a good time for a blog entry!



I posted earlier about the possibility of one of the incubating eggs being a "double-yolker"...I candled it today and indeed it is. In nature these eggs never make it. The bottom twin will drown in fluids or be smooshed while the top twin sometimes hatches successfully. Want to watch an assisted hatch of twins?
